San Marzano tomatoes

San Marzano tomatoes are a specific variety of plum tomato grown in the volcanic soil of the San Marzano region in Italy. Known for their sweet flavor, low acidity, and dense flesh with fewer seeds, they have a rich, robust taste that enhances sauces and dishes. Their thin skin makes them ideal for cooking down into smooth, flavorful sauces without becoming bitter or watery. Valued globally by chefs and food enthusiasts, authentic San Marzano tomatoes are often protected by geographic certification, ensuring quality and origin. They are a key ingredient in many traditional Italian recipes.
